Abstract

The fish processing industry in Cambodia is made up entirely of small, household enterprises except for three commercial fish processing establishments (as of 2003) involved in export. DOF of Cambodia has set up a HACCP team to look into implementation of HACCP and establishing legislation for GMP and HACCP. Since 1999, one of the commercial establishments which is located in Phnom Penh and exports to the US, has implemented HACCP plans for its products such as frozen shrimp, freshwater fish, fillets, IQF cooked freshwater snail meat. The government in cooperation with an NGO has conducted three training workshops on seafood safety especially with regards to parasitic infection. In addition, DOF has also taken efforts to educate fish processors and fishermen about HACCP application, which emphasize hygiene and sanitation.
